    I don't know, but his name has been popping up a lot for the past month. I am not sure I had ever heard the name before then.

    I was just trying to inform the good public. ^_~ I am not a fan of his at all.

    And his haircut is horrible, BigBenito.

    The list is kinda flawed, but it was started by Americans about America. Good. Though some of those things arent UNIQUELY U.S of A. Toyota?

    Commenting on the list.
    __1. Ipad: never tried.
    __2. Saturday Mail Delivery:I think Saturday mail is OK. Most people aren't home during the weekday when packages arrive at their house. US Govt with its head up its butt on that one.
    __3. 3d Movies: Article says "Consumer Reports found that it would cost $3,300 to buy a TV, extra pairs of glasses and 3-D Blu-ray player. That definitely makes 3-D movies over-rated." Thats actually a better cost than I thought it'd be compared to early HDTVs on the market.
    __4. Frequent Buyer Programs: Agree
    __5. Cable TV: Agree and disagree. Agree that how the prices keep climbing is lame. But as someone who has NOT had cable for a while, don't believe the crap about how cable-less life is better. Expensive cable >> no cable and most streaming alternatives.
    __6. Toyota: Yeah. Though Priuses without the problems is a SOLID car.
    __7. Lebron James: probably
    __8. Silly Bandz: Disagree. We ALL went through silly childish phases like that. Example: the entire 80s'.
    __9. "Lost" finale: never watched
    __10. Energy Drinks: I like them better than coffee but yeah probably overrated


    #11. Southern California: There's still some good things about it. But its badly mismanaged nowadays as a place worth living in.
    Al Davis to Raiders = California authorities to state

    Toyota is overrated, but Honda isn't?! I suppose it's because of the safety problems it's had which has called into question it's reliability.


    But seriously, both the Accord and Civic are horrible looking cars, I just don't understand the love affair.

    Ipad shouldn't be overrated simply because it initially received a lukewarm reaction. But Apple, yes...Apple is overrated.
